I have my PS3 wired up to my onkyo TX-SR605 amp via HDMI to get all the sound formats and HD picture to my TV (Samsung LE-40M86BD, although I think this may be irrelavent to the problem).
When playing blu-rays the sound works perfectly, but the problem is that the picture is flickery, at first I thought it could have been the TV but when I plugged the PS3 directly into the TV via HDMI the picture is brilliant.
After fiddling with the settings on the ps3 I turned off the 24hz option which stopped the flickering but there is still another problem which is that the blacks are grey, but when I plug the PS3 directly into the TV the blacks are much blacker and how it should be.
Also I don't really know the issues with switching off 24hz
I know there are lots of solutions but none of them are great:
Can anyone please help.

I know there are lots of solutions but none of them are great:
- Use optical cable and avoid HDMI passthrough which would fix picture but give me less audio options.
- Use an HDMI splitter to get HD audio and avoid the passthrough of the picture, but from what I have read this doesn't work very well.
- Firmware update, but I am not sure if this exists to fix the problem and if I would have to take it in to a service center or do it myself.
Can anyone please help.
